Hello SAH Developers - The below enhancements are available for you in UAT for this week.  If you find an issue, please email busintel@ucsd.edu right away with the subject line “SAH UAT due August 25” so we can address it prior to the 3pm release to Production on Thursday, August 26.  Enhancements to SAH are always released to UAT on the third Thursday of each month.

Renaming and Deprecating

As we've adapted the SAH views to your needs, we have found changing field names is painful for both report developers and our team due to the name change breaking reports, data integrations and packages / data sources.  In an effort to avoid this pain, we are going to introduce a new name change strategy. 

  1. ITS-BIA will release new fields with the revised field name in the views that contain the field to be renamed, or where a view is to be renamed ITS-BIA will release as a new view the view with the revised name.

  2. ITS-BIA will allow a transition period for report developers to repoint their reports at the new fields / views.

  3. ITS-BIA will remove the data from the old fields / views and allow a second transition period.  This will not break the report but will highlight where the fields / views are still in use as they will become blank.

  4. ITS-BIA will deprecate the fields / views.  Any reports the have not transitioned by this point will break.

We'll be using this new strategy on the following items that require name changes.

  • "Enrollment Count" will be replaced by "Enrollment Record Count"
  • "Class Section Enrollment" will be replaced by "Class Section Enrollment Count"
  • "Permanent Address Country Code" will be replaced by "Permanent Address Country Code Current"
  • "Permanent Address Country Name" will be replaced by "Permanent Address Country Name Current"
  • "Permanent Address State" will be replaced by "Permanent Address State Current"
  • "Permanent Address Zip" will be replaced by "Permanent Address Zip Current"

Follow our Enhancement Testing Steps

Tip
Use this UAT time to adjust your reports as needed prior to the Production release where your customers will be able to see any issues these enhancements cause. 
  • Cognos: Use the packages in Cognos DEV > Student Activity Hub > Student Activity Hub Packages UAT to build your report and select Hana QA.  Do not select Hana Prod as the report will fail.  Using Hana QA will allow you to see the below enhancements with Oracle Production data. 
  • Tableau: Sign into Tableau on your Tableau desktop tool and open your report.  Add a new data source with the same name and -QA at the end of the title.  Using this data source will allow you to see the below enhancements with ISIS Production data.
  • Hana QA:  SNAH data in Hana QA is production data loaded daily, just like in Hana PROD.

If you find an issue, please include in your email to busintel@ucsd.edu the following:

  • What browser are you using?
  • What environment are you using?  Cognos DEV, QA or PROD?  Or Tableau?
  • What data source / package are you using?
  • What results were you expecting? 


Customer Service Reminder
